Yeah, FNL is pretty bad. I caught the first episode and it was a complete ripoff of Varsity Blues minus the dickhead head coach.

I really like The Nine so far. Also, from Kim Raver herself, she is supposed to be back on 24 at some point this season. She won't be a recurring character, but she'll appear in at least a few episodes. She wants to stay a part of the series as she wants to be in the upcoming 24 movie.

FDL is as I mentioned before very hard to watch. I gave it a chance it did not provide.

I miss House.

Shark is still on my watch list. I doubt it will come off since the wife has taken a liking to it. With no House for another week (though get this Hugh Laurie is hosting Saturday Night Live next week) I need to watch someone with some attitde on TV.

Swerb...even without Showtime you can download the first two episodes of Dexter for free from their web site if you wanted to check it out prior to getting the service.

But from what I know of your tastes, once you watch them, you'll be ponying up the extra $11 per month (assuming you have your premium channels through directv).

I know ... if I have time this weekend I'm gonna try and do that. I also want to watch the 1st couple episodes of Jericho online as well.

I woulda ordered Showtime already, but we may be close to selling our condo and moving soon. I had Showtime before and it sucked. 1 good fight every six months, no good original programming, and shit for movies.

Based on the people that reccomended it, and your writeup Mitch ... I know I'm gonna like it.
